The applicant submitted that the parties were married on 2 November 2012 and had one child. The plaintiff also submitted that after six months the parties' marriage had become quarrelsome because the respondent:

1. was egotistical and disrespectful towards the applicant;
2. was temperamental whenever the parties would argue; and
3. no longer obeyed the applicant.

On 15 September 2016, after the respondent had rejected the applicant's advice, the parties began to sleep in separate beds.

While the applicant initially requested that the court grant him a divorce, he then requested that the court allow him to withdraw his application as the parties had already reconciled their differences. The court acceded to the plaintiff's request.
